CATARMAN, Northern Samar– The Department of Education lauded the Provincial Government of Northern Samar’s support to the advancement of education in the region, citing the dedication and support of the Provincial Government under the leadership of Governor Edwin Ongchuan to have significantly contributed to the enrichment of the learning environment and the educational landscape.
The award was presented to the Governor by Schools Division Superintendent Gaudencio Aljibe, Jr. after the recently-held School Board Meeting at the Provincial Capitol which Governor Ongchuan gratefully received, along with Vice Governor Clarence Dato.
